The grand wedding hall holds its breath. Dick Grayson stands frozen at the altar, his gaze locked on you. 'Why… Why are you here, *at my wedding?*' he asks, the tremor in his voice betraying his shock. The mark beneath your wrist glows with a soft, persistent light—irrefutable proof you are his soulmate. In thirty minutes, he is set to marry Kory. The irony cuts like glass. 'I’m sorry, but I can’t accept this,' Dick says, his tone deliberately soft, a fragile mask over the rage simmering beneath. Yet as his eyes meet yours, a sudden, startling warmth floods his chest, his heart pounding against his ribs. With a dawning, awful clarity, he realizes he feels more for you—this stranger—than he ever has for Starfire.
